3. Remove the jet mixture solenoid valve (Figure 6).


4. Insert the new jet mixture solenoid valve and hand tighten.

CAUTION:
If the solenoid threads seem to bind when tightening by hand, do. NOT use force. Loosen and retighten to remove burrs and avoid cross-threading.

5. Place the provided JMS Tool on the provided inch-pound torque wrench.

NOTE:
The JMS Tool must be at a 90° angle to the torque wrench to assure a correct torque reading.

NOTE:
Do not over tighten the jet mixture solenoid valve since this will distort the valve and cause an over rich condition.
